Looking back, I'm facepalming because I was so awkward back then, it's painful.

QUESTION So when was the moment you think you fell in love with Nico? Not crushing, not when you first met, just in love. Was it before or after you started officially dating?

Before. 

Definitely.

He's still my first crush, so I'm not 100% sure when it was, but I have a pretty good guess.

I was eleven, maybe twelve, and it was a few days after the Battle of the Labyrinth. Nico refused to eat with anyone at the camp and didn't show up at the campfire.

Except for one day-the last day he was there, though I didn't know that at the time.

That night, at the campfire, he showed up and sat down.

Next to me.

I kind of freaked out.

This was the closest I'd ever been to him.

Anyway, once I'd gotten over the fact that he was right there, I started doing my usual thing, singing along to the music and laughing like crazy.

Then halfway through a song, I looked at him and he looked back at me.

Then he smiled.

At me.

My heart just straight-up melted.

The only thing I could do was smile back nervously until I cleared my head and came back into this dimension.
